> We are building lots. Of everything. Did you read the headline? Do you know what article you're commenting on?

Why does this article use backticks instead of apostrophes?

Yeah, my experience of Twitter has improved dramatically since I deleted my account and disavowed it completely. I don't even visit the domain. If I need to visit a link, I'll chan…

I'd happily drive a Chinese car but I've yet to see one which has physical buttons for controls. They all seem to have gigantic tablet displays. I categorically refuse to buy a car…

1. Why is this website blocked when I try browsing it using Brave? 2. Why on earth would you want a financial product from a WAF?content delivery company?

But then how do you make knee-jerk reactions on social media to vilify those who hold politically opposite views to yours?

Wow. Opinions on LLMs aside, the CEO writing an article like that makes me think fly.io is a deeply unserious company.

Replace "Facebook" with "heroin" in your argument and see how ridiculous you sound.

First website where I've had to disable first-party JavaScript just to be able to read a text-based article. Even Firefox's reader mode was hijacked by their anti-ad-blocker script…

That's cool but your text-based web page won't even display in my browser which doesn't support webgl.

You might have the self-awareness and impulse control to stop yourself from getting addicted to these apps, but the majority of the world's population does not. These giant compani…

This cannot be a genuine take from a real person.

The modern-day cigarette is such a perfect metaphor for social media. A cabal of unfathomably wealthy companies spreading their harmful products across the world; making them as ad…

The author did make it unavailable. Nobody forced him to. He's kneecapping his own content and intentionally excluding UK users unnecessarily. Some random developer blog is absolut…
